Springer Identified.

GLOBE, A. T., April 22.--The man ar.
rested here on suspicion of being Spring.
er, who murdered his wife at Cotton, Cal.
has been positively identified as the right
man.
The prisoner in Jail here has been
identified as William Springer, the Col
ton wife murderer. United States
Deputy Marshal Smith, who arrived from
Tucson yesterday, knew Springer in
Phoenix five or six years ago, and on see.
ing Keith, the prisoner, said positively
that he is Springer. To settle the ques-
ton beyond a doubt, Smith
told Deputy Sheriff John II.
Benbrook that Springer had
scar on the outside of bis foot,
near the instep, caused by the acci.
dental discharge of his pistol while rum
ming cattle in Ccchise county five or
six years ago, and that this would
determine whether or not the prisoner
and Springer were one and the same
person. Keith was then ordered to
remove his boots, which he did sfter
repeated protests, showing evident
alarm, and the fatal malk was discov-
cred. AT Benson, some time ego,
man recognized and accosted the prison
er as Springer, having known him in the
Territory years ago. He stoutly denies,
however. having met or spoken to the
man at Benson. The disclosures seem to
complete the chain of circumstantial
evidences against the prisoner and the
conviction is general among officials and
citizens here that he is Springer.
The man identified as Springer is
charged WITH the murder Of his wife, at
Cotton, San Bernardino county, some
time ago, under peculiarly brutal and
bloodcurdling circumstances. He
reached Cotton only ON the day of the
murder and proceeded, with his young
wife, to the Colton' Hotel, where he regis
tered and procured room. That night
the crime was committed, the woman
being beaten to death with small
sized carpenters hammer. Her throat,
in addition, was cut from ear to ear. No
trace or clue to Springer's whereabouts,
was ever received by the authorities
until his arrest at Globe, A. T., was
wired them.

THE ALASKA FISH Err les.
Alleged Opinion of the Pfesf'
dent.

SAN FRANCISCO, April pa dipatch
received here from Washington by L. N.
Handy & SIN, owners of the schooner
San Diego. which was recently seized in
Bshring Sea for alleged illegal seal fish
ing, will undoubtedly settle the disputed
question regarding the rights of vessels
to catch seals in BehriDg Sea. For
many years the Alaska Commercial
Company has had the exclusive privil.
ego from the Government to capture
seals in the waters adjacent to
the islands and mainland OF
Alaska. I. gradually extended
its claims until it claimed
to fish in the entire Bshring Sea, which
claim was recognized by the government,
and any vessel found seat-hunting in
those waters was seized and confiscated.
Handy u Son claimed that the govera.
ment had no jurisdiction over this body
of water, beyond three miles from shore,
which is one of the international laws
all nations are bound to respect. The
matter has been constantly agitated
in Washington since the time
of Grants first presidential term,
but up to the present time no relief has
been afforded outsiders.
Recently Mr.. Handy brought suit in
the Boston courts against the command.
er of the revenue cutter, making the |
government co-defendant, and sent j Il. |
Evans, an attorney, East to conduct the !
suit and exert his influence with the
President to alter the laws. Mr.. Handy |
also wrote to President Cleveland, ex-
planning to him the injustice the present
laws inhict on those who desire TO en-
gage in seal-hunting in these waters.
The matters have been discussed at

and on Wednesday Mr.. Handy
received telegram from his lawyer in
Washington stating that any YES.

yesterday. Premier Fielding, in moving
series Of resolutions on the question,
said there was nothing to do now but to

said Nova Scotia's best interests were in
